Canon PowerShot SX50 HS

Full Review

Superzoom cameras have long been the butt of many jokes here at the office. As the market continues to demand ever-longer zoom ratios, manufacturers are forced to respond. The results are long-zoom cameras with magnification capabilities that were already silly a year ago, and have since passed full-on ridiculousness.

The reason why we smirk at these cameras is because when zoom ratio goes up, image quality has a tendency to take a nosedive. That's not always the case, though.
